TL;DR: how can I run my Jupyter notbook in VS Code, given I've tried the previously-suggested solutions (like installing certain extensions) and nothing appears to be working?
I've got the following blank .ipynb file:
I've installed both Microsoft's Jupyter and Python extensions installed:
I created the file in screenshot #1 above via the command palette to Jupyter > Create New Blank Notebook. We see a cell which I've changed from plain text to Python. I don't see a "Run" button in my editor like I do in the VS Code + Jupyter docs. I hit Shift-Enter to run the cell, but instead of the expected output, I'm prompted to "Select a kernel for Untitled-1.ipynb`:
I try to type in my best guess for which kernel they're referring to (I use Python 3.9.5 in my terminal), but typing things like 3.9.5 and Python, thinking I might see an auto-complete helper or a dropdown with valid options to choose from, but this didn't happen.
The "Restart" and "Interrupt" buttons are greyed-out and disabled, implying that the Jupyter server isn't running. However, the docs imply that I should be able to just create a new Jupyter notebook and start running code immediately:
Here’s how to get started with Jupyter in VS Code.
- If you don’t already have an existing Jupyter Notebook file, open the VS Code Command Palette with the shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + P (Windows) or Command + SHIFT + P (macOS), and run the “Python: Create Blank New Jupyter Notebook” command.
- If you already have a Jupyter Notebook file, it’s as simple as just opening that file in VS Code. It will automatically open with the new native Jupyter editor.
Once you have a Jupyter Notebook open, you can add new cells, write code in cells, run cells, and perform other notebook actions.
I saw the following Jupyter Server: local component at the bottom of my screen. I see the icon on the left-hand side shows a disconnected power cord; not sure if that implies the server itself is disconnected. At any rate, I tried clicking on this component to see what would happen:
I see the default behavior is already selected, which leads me to believe that VS Code would automatically start up a Jupyter server when the app itself is launched.
I also tried setting the kernel via the command palette (Jupyter > Select interpreter to start Jupyter server), and this time I did see my version of Python. However, selecting that option didn't seem to resolve the issue, since I still don't see a "Run" button:
I tried looking in all the tabs at the bottom of the screen (Terminal, Jupyter Variables, Debug Console, Problems, and Output), but didn't see anything at all.
Interestingly, when I run Jupyter > Create Interactive Window from the command palette, I am able to create Jupyter cells and run Python code in them. However, I consider this to be a workaround and not a solution to my primary problem of being unable to run both interactive sessions and notebooks:
These are all my VS Code settings:
{
"ruby.intellisense": "rubyLocate",
"files.autoSave": "onFocusChange",

What am I missing?
